From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tom Lewis, an artist given prime-time exposure earlier this year when he was singled out by contestants on the BBC’s Junior Apprentice, is to stage a pop-up exhibition in London.
The east London-based artist helped Emma Walker’s team to win Episode 4 of the adolescent version of the reality television show in which individuals compete for a place in business magnate Alan Sugar’s empire.
Lewis’ work sold out in the immediate aftermath of the show’s broadcast. Since then the waiting list for his paintings has stretched into next year.
His quirky paintings combine his interest in myths and legends with Japanese anime, graffiti art and more traditional techniques like woodcuts and stencilling.
The new exhibition tells the story of Lewis’ fictional heroine Megan, part-adventurer and part-schoolgirl.

‘Megan and the garden of Edo,’ opens at the Maverik Showroom on Redchurch Street, Shoreditch on Wednesday 6-10 October, tomlewis.co.uk
